At Least 18 College Players Set to Outearn LeBron James Next Season

Philadelphia superstar LeBron James' new contract will see him earn a career-low salary of $3.8 million.

According to information from The Athletic, based on conversations with college coaches, general managers, and NBA scouts, at least 18 NCAA players are projected to earn more than James, with their incomes reaching a minimum of $3.9 million.

An interesting fact is that none of these college athletes were born by June 26, 2003 – the day LeBron James was selected as the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft.
